Capitol Conference/ AMA National Advocacy Conference

Alliance members advocate For America's Health

Alliance members gather in Washington, D.C., in March to show unity with the advocacy agenda of the American Medical Association (AMA) on behalf of their spouses and to gain personal growth and leadership skills benefiting Alliance goals for the families of medicine.
 
For three days, the Alliance works side by side, participating in the AMA Alliance Capitol Conference, Winter Session, and the AMA's National Advocacy Conference (NAC). 

The first day, the Alliance Capitol Conference-Winter Session, consists of educational programming covering a wide range of topics, including fundraising and development and how to talk to legislators.

The next Alliance Capitol Conference will be held in March 2010.

For resources and materials from the 2009 Alliance Capitol Conference, check out the Leadership File under #3 Meeting Follow-up.
